Gang Busters #19

Straight from the neon-lit intersection of Broadway and W. 45th Street, Gang Busters #19 drops readers into the heart of New York City's most thrilling manhunt. Dan Barry's cover captures a lone plainclothes officer, gun drawn, squaring off against shadowy figures closing in from both sides beneath the glow of a street lamp — all the tension of the Great White Way rendered in sharp ink. Boasting 52 big pages and billed as "Brand-New Adventures of Radio's Coast-to-Coast Favorite," this 1950 DC issue reminds us that, no matter the odds, you can't beat the law.
